he has some interesting stuff….the mushaweck repair? he claims its the least invasive tissue repair

and myself made the same mistake you are proposing to make…talked to doctors and to friends…in AGMs case his friends didnt even have good reports and he still went ahead with lap mesh surgery…because he didnt want to pay travel costs…i dont get that. I would have traveled to mars to avoid the problems i am having now. GI strikes me as a…[Read more]

As i try to clean up my double inguninal lap mesh disaster…i am seeking guidance about what do do once my ab wall is shredded by removal. Dr Tomas has refused to do a desarda repair on my Bard 3e max removal tissue…Dr, Towfigh dismisses the Desarda repair and continues to push the dangerous lap mesh solution as the gold standard….i believe…[Read more]

as i approach my double mesh removal surgery with DR B severral have cautioned me against it saying that my risk of developing a femoral hernia which only be fixed with mesh is significant…apparently removing the plastic garbage causes the abdominal wall to weak and a femoral hernia to form which can only be repaired by mesh….did those of your…[Read more]

Do you think your case is an aberration? I dont suppose you can find it in your heart to have a quick phone chat with me as I make final arrangments to have the mesh removed. Honestly after reading your post…which i think you meant to be encouraging…i am more conflicted than ever, My mesh is pure junk..3d Bard..and there is a ton of it.…[Read more]

GI thanks so much for your input…i am in panic mode as i consider removal surgery. Its hard to believe that a tough surgery like this wont have consequences when the original “routine” surgery has destroyed my life. Dr B gave me lots of warnings about what could go wrong and he said he couldnt say that the surgery would make me better at…[Read more]

Does the fact that i had TEP surgery make re
moval more difficult or destructive? Did any of you consider the systemic risks of mesh imp;ants as part of your decision? some say these risks are speculative…but 48 square inches of plastic seems like a ton…Bard 3d max is known to ball up too…so it just makes sense to me to bite the bullet and…[Read more]

folks after suffering with mysterious urinary symptoms and inguinal canal pain for a year…i have decided to have Dr B pull out my double inguinal Bard 3d max garbage on 9-2. I feel like the stupidest person on the planet for putting this junk in me…i began having problems only weeks after the surgery with weak stream hesitancy that evolved…[Read more]

I had an appt with Dr B yesterday to discuss removal of my bilateral Bard 3d max mesh…he said he could do it but said there was signicant risk—-what was shocking to me is that he basically conceded that my mesh was likely already stuck to all my internal organs…the vas the chord the bladder the nerves and probably some veins….he said this…[Read more]

Dr Towfigh. First let me thank you for your input here. For donating time so generously. You always say lap tep mesh is one of the best options for hernia repair. But the more I study it and talk with patients and doctors the more I am terrified that I got this surgery. The complication rate and the variety of complications that can occur is…[Read more]

Folks. I am simply shocked that lap surgery for hernias is legal. I have been doing a ton of research on this and am shocked. It’s seems like nearly everyone I talk to who had lag lap mesh surgery has some sort of complication. Be it pain. Mesh migration. Adhesions. Bowel resections. Foreign body. I have yet y meet a lap patient who d…[Read more]

I have had non stop urinary burning sensations since my botched surgery from Dr. Carvajal in glendale CA. i am now also getting dull aches in the inguinal area. I have consulted several surgeons including Dr Yunis…no one knows whats going on….what is the fix for this? Does one simply have to undergo new surgery and hope for the best? Is it…[Read more]

Suffer with prostatitis like symptoms when your mesh was in? I have constant pain and burning. Weak stream. Urgency etc. nick Schiller advised he had the same until his mesh was removed. Then the symptoms went away. I have been taking antibiotics without any improvement.
